Well according to the epa, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation accounts for 27% of the total US greenhouse gas emissions. And over the last 30 years that sector has had the biggest increase in absolute terms. So yeah I'd say electric vehicles are a pretty important part of cutting that. Sure, public transport is important as well. But if you think that you can redesign thousands of cities across America, change American attitudes on how they like to travel, and raise enough tax money to fund the redesign faster than evs could saturate the market then I'd say you're wrong. Evs are a much more realistic step that has a large effect. And realistic steps are what matter. Not some idealistic but unrealistic expectations of how things should be.
